About Swim-a-Thon™

Swim-a-Thon™ is the only official pledge-for-length swim program recognized by the USA Swimming Foundation and for the first time in history, the 2013 USA Swimming Foundation’s Swim-a-Thon™ fundraising program surpassed the $5 MILLION DOLLAR mark! Since 1998, Swim-a-Thons™ have generated more than $30 million for swim clubs and swim programs across the country. In order to host a pledge-for-length swimming event, participating organizations agree to sign a contract with the USA Swimming Foundation and donate a nominal fee to the USA Swimming Foundation of 5% of the gross revenue from their Swim-a-Thon™ event. The donation that is paid to the USA Swimming Foundation supports its mission to save lives and build champions—in the pool and in life.
